HAMPTON -- A single-family home on Route 519 in Hampton was destroyed by an early morning fire Saturday.

The Hampton Fire Department responded to a call at 2:45 a.m. for a heavy fire on county Route 519. The fire took about two hours to control, Hampton Fire Chief David Gundermann said.

He said there were no injuries and everyone was safely evacuated.

"The house is completely uninhabitable," Gundermann said.

The two-story home with red shutters and a brick center was destroyed with only the frame and deck still standing. A pickup truck parked in the driveway was also severely burned.

A portion of Route 519 was closed for several hours as the fire department responded to the fire and got water from the intersection of Mill Street and North Park Drive. The Hampton Fire Department was at the scene until 11 a.m.

The cause of the fire is still unknown and is being investigated by State Police, Gundermann said. State Police would not release any information about the fire Saturday afternoon, saying it was an ongoing investigation.

Gundermann said he does not know where or how the fire started.

Ann Mellucci, of New York, was staying with relatives in a house next to the one that caught fire. She heard two loud booms in the early morning hours while she was sleeping.

"I heard two booms and the left hand of the house was in flames," she said. "It woke me out of my sleep. The booms scared me."

The Red Cross came to the scene of the fire and assisted with finding temporary living quarters for the family, Gundermann said.

"Red Cross came in and stepped up to the plate," Gundermann said. "It is great that they come in and help like that."

A neighbor across the street, Bob Ford, said he was awakened by the sound of an emergency vehicle siren. Ford woke his wife and then walked across the street to the fire.

"I talked to the family and told them to come over (to my house) and get warm," he said. The family declined, but he brought them water and Girl Scout cookies, while also taking photos of the fire with his digital camera.

Mellucci, Ford and other neighbors said that they do not know the family that lived in the home.
